100ml corn oil

Method

Soak mixed fruits with brandy, preferably overnight.

Sift plain flour, baking powder, baking soda and mixed spices together into a mixing bowl. Make a well in the center.

Combine eggs, brown sugar and corn oil and stir till sugar dissolves.

Coat the mixed fruits with some of the flour mixture.

Pour the eggs mixture into the flour and fold to combine. Stir in mixed fruits at the same time.
